KIRTIPUR – The Janakpur Bolts have seized early control in their Nepal Premier League (NPL 2) clash against the Biratnagar Kings, leaving the opposition struggling at 58/3 after 10 overs. The Kings' innings suffered a severe "spine-breaking" collapse as the Bolts' spin attack exploited the conditions perfectly. Despite looking to score quickly, Biratnagar lost three crucial wickets inside the first half of the innings. Key international stars George Munsey (10) and Martin Guptill (13) fell cheaply, failing to convert their starts. Lokesh Bam offered some resistance with a knock of 28, but his dismissal has exposed the middle order to sustained pressure. Lankan wizard Sangeeth Coorey and youngster Aditya Mahata are the bowlers who broke the spine of the kings. The Janakpur Bolts will look to capitalise on this momentum, while the Kings face an uphill battle to post a competitive target.
